Edgar Sosa Injury Video: Watch Hoops Star's Gruesome Leg Injury

Turn away if you don’t want to have nightmares, especially if you’re a basketball player.

You have to feel for former University of Louisville point guard Edgar Sosa after watching this horrific injury. I don’t know how long he’s going to be out for, but my prayers are certainly with him that he can rebound and play ball again.

You never want to see somebody go down with an injury and you certainly don’t want to see a man damn near crippled physically and emotionally from it.

Unfortunately, these are the risks every athlete faces every time they perform, amateur or professional, young or old. Everyone who witnessed the injury was clearly affected by its terrible nature as some players were seen crying.

Edgar was a promising star at Louisville and helped advance the Cardinals to the Elite Eight in 2009. He was a quick point guard with stellar ball handling skills. He was a fearless attacker of the basket and was making waves with his overseas play.

Many expected Edgar to soon arrive in the NBA after honing his skills overseas. In 2010, he played for the Detroit Pistons in the NBA’s Summer League, but the overseas market provided an attractive outlet to accelerate his progression.

Sosa was gaining valuable experience and improving his decision-making overseas. It's his quickness and ability to attack the rim that would make him an attractive spark plug for an NBA squad.
